Art Festival 2008

We went to the art festival today (the same one we went to last year) and had a great time! We met my friend, Laura, and her daughters there. Her oldest (Katrina) is the girls favorite babysitter and her youngest (Elisha) is great friends with Ashley and Paige. We watched Katrina's dance company perform part of the ballet of Cinderella and then spent the day doing all the fun activities at the festival. After Cinderella, the advanced pointe class performed to a really rock-y song wearing black and red dresses, fishnets, and black pointe shoes. It made me remember convincing Miss Susie to let us do our pointe warm up to "cool" songs (I like to move it-move it-I like to move it-move it!) and how I always wanted bright red pointe shoes. Maybe I'll get in really good shape and start dancing again...hmmm. Anyways, this year, we visited all the country displays and they were amazing! The German one had a huge man playing a huge tuba inside the tent. Paige and I were smiling and dancing, so he walked over, still playing, and knelt down next to Paige. Can anyone guess her reaction...yeah--not so great--she liked him MUCH better from a distance. They had a lot of fun making tiger kites in the Malaysian tent, and the lady in the South Korean tent actually let them try on these handmade dresses:

A yellow balloon and pink ice cream=a perfect treat for Paige!
